What feature or enhancement are you suggesting?
Feature Request
Please consider adding support for the following crypto methods which are commonly used in Node.js applications for password hashing and secure comparisons:
crypto.timingSafeEqual(a, b)
crypto.scrypt(password, salt, keylen[, options], callback)
crypto.scryptSync(password, salt, keylen[, options])
These are essential for secure authentication and cryptographic operations and are missing from react-native-quick-crypto.
Use Case
timingSafeEqual: Required for constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks in sensitive comparisons (e.g., HMACs or password validation).
scrypt / scryptSync: Widely used for secure password-based key derivation, and is natively supported in Node.js.
What Platforms whould this feature/enhancement affect?
Android
Alternatives/Workarounds
For crypto.scrypt / scryptSync:
✅ Workaround: Use @noble/hashes/scrypt, a pure and fast JavaScript implementation of scrypt that works in React Native, browsers, and Node.js.
It supports full parameter control: N, r, p, and output length.
For crypto.timingSafeEqual:
⚠️ No native alternative exists in React Native yet.
